    PRP treatment after HT

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    We have offered treatments in combination with a transplant for years.  It makes sense it exacerbates healing but its true purpose it to rejuvenate hair that is withering away from DHT.  Results and impact depend on many things such as what system and techniques were used as well as activators.  Big difference is that with EXO it does not have the "junk" that is not needed so there is not any inflammation that is often an accompaniment of PRP.  Without this inflammation the activation takes place sooner than later and the addition of an activator is not needed.  

    Very interesting, thank you for that detailed response.

    Thanks for the advice! Do you think H&W are just kind of a tier above? Are there any other doctors in the US you'd recommend? I think it could potentially be a year before Americans can travel to Canada.

     

    Thanks for the tip - Dr.True gave the same advice. Thinking about giving it another shot.

    Do give it another shot, don't throw in the towel just yet. There are other medications out there. I myself couldn't tolerate Finasteride and switched to Dutasteride, haven't look back since, probably one of the best decisions I ever made but that doesn't mean you'll have the same experience with Dutasteride as I did, it's just another option to consider before giving up. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

    PRP treatment after HT

    Hello,

     

    I am wondering if anyone has any experience with PRP treatment post hair transplant. I had my HT in Turkey with Dr. Cinik and they advised me that PRP treatment is good for strengthening and growing hair following hair transplant. 
     

    have you had PRP treatment post HT and have you noticed any difference? 

    I had PRP during my HT with Cinik, I'm just shy of 4 months post op. My hair has grew in really well and I didn't shed much hair post op either. It could be that Dutasteride has helped with my situation or I just got lucky, but I do think the PRP helped at least with the healing.

    Hi everyone. Been meaning to update for a while but tbh I always have toppik or concealer in, but I did snap some pics yesterday without either, I won't upload the crown pics as I had toppik in that area. 

    I had surgery on the 9th July, so I guess I'm around 3 and a half months out from my op. 

    So far so good, didn't really have much of a shedding phase, everything has just sort of grew. 

    I will take better pics soon.

    Downfalls of a hair system

    I hated wearing a hair system. I felt like I had a mop on my head and always felt like it looked fake even if it looked great that day. There was a constant feeling that the edges or hairline was showing. It made me sick to my stomach anytime someone looked at me. I was 20 years old, but I felt like a 45 year old bald man with a toupe. It was a horrible feeling. If I was starting over and had to wear a hair system I would transplant the front and wear a hair system for the crown. That's the only was I can picture myself being able to actually lie with it because that would at least make the front look and actually be real hair.

     

    That was pretty much my experience with wearing a system too. Really crippled me with anxiety. 

    You're definitely right about having a HT for the hairline and wearing a system behind it, I think that's possibly the only way to truly make them look like your real hair.

     @Melvin-Moderator I do agree with you but I rather advise a cheap option that I know is able to provide a decent result than just let this member get seduced by Cinik (or any other Hairmills) and end up getting a bad tech team that will provide yet another Turkish botched HT

    Where are all these botched Cinik transplants? All I see recently, are good results. You are incredibly biased towards Cinik and have no real recent proof to back up anything you say. Just browsing HRN you can see plenty of happy people who went to Cinik recently.

    This is the reason I haven't even bothered to post an update with my own progress, you and others on this forum will never accept that people can go to Cinik and be happy and have good results! It is so off putting. 

    Nobody is asking for you to go around and recommend Cinik and I agree with Melvin, cost should not be a deciding factor and you're better off just saving up more money and going to a top rated surgeon. 

    My point is this - Cinik may be a hair mill as you say, but there are plenty of other (far worse) places you should also be warning others about, you always single out Cinik and it's laughable now, you must hate it when people post good results from his clinic.

    I wore one for 5 years and I totally agree with @Gatsby, you have to have the personality to wear a system. It takes balls of steel to go out wearing a system and you have to be very confident and own it - you wear the hair, the hair doesn't wear you. 

    I think wearing a system should be your absolute last resort, exhaust all your other options first. If cost is a deciding factor, it shouldn't be - wearing a system over 10 years will easily cost you more than a HT. 

    There is a very dark side to wearing a system that these buffoon's on YT do not discuss, there is a mental cost to wearing a system and it is by no means an easy option. 

    Good luck.

    Shedding Question

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    Had my first HT a month ago. I had minimal shedding until just the past few days. I was worried because it seems like IF you’re going to shed, you want that to happen ASAP. Once it goes dormant, you’ve got 2-6 months until it comes back. It would suck to lose it all in month 2 or 3 and then wait that much longer for the final result.

    That’s the concern, right? I wouldn’t worry about the final outcome, just the timing. Everyone’s different. Are you shampooing thoroughly? I realized my shed seemed a little late bc I was still babying the recipient.

    Yeah, you're right. I was just a bit worried that my hair isn't shedding when it should be.

    I do wash my hair thoroughly and often.

    I'm actually 9 weeks post op now too, I got it wrong in my previous comment.
